Cars in the garage (chain)

So most of my problems have been with alignment it was due to go to dealers on Monday. But today I started her up and I heard the rattle of death.
Peugeot did advise me that it was rattling and needed changing but the £800 fee and not really noticing it put me off.

So iv put the alignment issues on the back foot. I think this is telling me something about my priorities . I also took the opportunity to opt in for the service plan which will give me some discount on the labour and the repair cost. Lets hope she's gonna be ok

£800 is a little on the steep side you really shouldn’t be paying more than £600 from a dealers.

really? I got another quote from the Peugeot in Lincoln they wanted £1090. They all seem to be different. I was going to take it to a bow independent I know but thought best to go to Peugeot. have you had yours done?

Hi yes my local Peugeot dealer replaced mine for under £600 with an oil change.
Peter Ambrose in Castleford West Yorkshire they are highly regarded by Peugeot UK.

I panicked when I heard the noise and took it straight there probably should have shopped around. Its a learning curb though. Grateful for this forum im still learning lot about my Z

You can also try an independent bmw mini specialist, as they use the same 1.6 petrol engine.

I probably should have gone with the independent would have saved me a lot more I was just concerned about any future issues if it wasn't fitted correctly. Iv got a little 108 courtesy car though im enjoying the fuel economy

Hopefully they’ll sort it and do a good job and you can get back to enjoying your gorgeous Z!

haha yeah I liked the 108 at first but when I was going in the fast lane foot on the floor at 50 and it wasn't moving I realised I couldn't live with it much longer. Its the little things I miss the cosey seats, effortless acceleration more presence on the road. Iv just seen yours in your post she's beautiful, You must get many on lookers

When my GT86 went in for a recall job, I got an Aygo.
My 86 felt like an F1 car when I got back in it.

Thanks, we RCZ owners do seem to put our own personal touches to our cars some good some bad but as long as we’re happy who cares? It does get a little addictive though
